IMPROVEMENT IN BOBBlN-SUPPORTERS OF SPOOLING-MACHINES.

Specification forming part of Letters Patent No. 179,672, dated July 11,1876; application led April 131s76.

To all 'whom it may concern Be it known that I, NIcHoLEs I. ALLEN, ofHopedale, of the county otw'orcester and State of Massachusetts, haveinvented anew and useful In'iprovelnent in BobbiirSupport` ers ot'Machines for Spooling Yarn; and do hereby declare the same to be fullydescribed in the following specification, and represented in theaccompanying drawings, of which- Figurel` denotes a side elevation, andFig. '2 a longitudinal section, of a bobbin-supporter with myimprovement. ofthe bobbin-rest.

My invention consists in the bobbin-rest as constructed with, or having,a series of grooves, ribs', or slots arranged in it obliquely to itsaxis or that of revolution of the bobbin, such additions being to keepthe bobbin, while in revolution, back upon its rest, and also to removefrom the yarn-load metes or extraneous matters, or excrescences incidentthereto, or that may be collected therein or thereon.V

In the drawings, A represents a bobbin-supporter of the kind now in usein spo0ling-ma-- chines, its bobbin-rest being shown ata, gooseneck atb, and pendulous lips at c c. The series of oblique slots of the saidbobbinrest is Fig. 3 is atop view represented at d d, Sto. In the placeof such slots, grooves or ribs may be used; but, although they answer tokeep the bobbin from slipping forward on its rest, and to remove inotesor extraneous matters from the yarn- 'load of the bobbin while it may beinrevolution, they will not discharge such matters from the said rest soei'ectually as will the slots, which, consequently, are preferable.

Fig. 4 of the drawings represents a top view, and Fig. 5 a longitudinalsection, of the yarnrestas provided with oblique grooves instead ofslots. Fig. 6 shows a top View, and Fig. 7 a longitudinal section, ot' ayarn-rest as havingl oblique ribs instead ot' slots.

I therefore claim- As my improvement in the spooling-inachinebobliin-supporters, the bobbin-rest thereof as inade or provided withslots, ribs, or grooves, arranged obliqnely with respect to its uppersurface, all substantially as and for the purpose or objects specilied.

NIGHOLES I. ALLEN. Witnesses:
